Dental records help ID person killed in Mt. Pleasant fire

A body discovered after a Mount Pleasant house fire on Christmas Day has been positively identified.

Dental records helped identify the victim as 21-year-old Bianca Vite.

Firefighters found the body after responding to a fire at the home on 16th Street and Green Bay Road.

"She was a straight-A student, and not just because she's my daughter, but a beautiful girl. (She was) kind of the life of the party when she came in," Bianca's father, Michael Vite, told WISN 12 News last week.

Police are treating her death as a homicide and have interviewed a person of interest.

Forty years ago, one of the greatest boxing matches in history took place in an unlikely setting: the capital of the Philippines. Muhammad Ali's epic win over great rival Joe Frazier in 1975 became known as the "Thrilla in Manila."
